Kareena to ape Preity Zinta in ‘Heroine’ by wearing a burqa

Madhur Bhandarkar
is someone who likes to take real-life incidents into account. He has done so
with his new movie ‘Heroine’ too. The inspiration this time is actress Preity
Zinta.

Preity had a
peculiar habit of visiting cinema theaters clad in a burqa. She had done it to
escape the media and public’s attention. She was once seen in a movie theater
watching Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Chak De India’ wearing a burqa.

Kareena the
protagonist in Bhandarkar film is set to do a similar act. A source close
to the movie said, “Madhur (Bhandarkar) came to know about this and decided to
portray it in his film.” Bhandarkar found it to be a unique practice. Kareena
is playing the role of a leading heroine in the movie. Madhur feels the
scene would be apt for her character.

Most of Bhandarkar’s
movies are inspired from real life incidents. Be it, ‘Page3’, ‘Satta’,
‘Chandini bar’, ‘Traffic Signal’, ‘Corporate’ or ‘Fashion’. All of them
portrayed real life incidents.

Madhur is clear in his approach .Once after the release of
‘Corporate ’ Bhandarkar had said in an interview , “When I decided to make a
film on the workings of the business world I had to make it as authentic as the
world of politics in "Satta", the socialites' parties in "Page
3" and the beer bars in "Chandini Bar". I can't fake it. I
didn't want my business world to look filmy. If I did, I'd call it "Dhande
Ke Saudagar" or something.”

He had further said, “If I make a film on the film trade, I have
to use trade language or else I'll end up making a filmy film on the film
world. I was willing to take the audience into confidence. Audiences are already connected to the theme... which
is everyone gets used in one way or another.”
